Press
coverage last weekend suggested that the launch of UK History on
Wednesday's Freeview launch depended on "settlement of a dispute
with the History Channel". This is incorrect.
While there has been press coverage of debate between UK History
and the History Channel, there were no issues (regulatory or otherwise)
preventing Wednesday's launch of UK History.
As we confirmed on 7 October 2002, UK History forms part of a joint
venture between 大象传媒 Worldwide and Telewest which has been fully
approved by DCMS.
